We researched the cafe before we came and the reviews looked great so we decided to visit before attending a show at the art center across the road. Sadly the experience we had did not reflect the reviews I read. 3/3 meals were ordered were served incorrect. The cheeseburger came out without cheese, the kids goujons meals had no beans and I was served a regular chicken salad rather than a chicken Caesar, as I had ordered. I was then told they have no parmesan so I said okay any cheese is fine, they brought out the same salad with some croutons and cheddar on top. No caesar dressing and it had olives, which a Caesar salad isn't supposed to have. To top it all off I was overcharged for the food and had to request an itemised receipt in order to get a partial refund. I wasn't offered much in the form of a apology, let alone any money off my bill. Overall not a pleasant experience and I would...
Read moreDELICIOUS BREAKFAST After being seriously let down by having our booking for 20 people at Jacks in Old Town cancelled as I was unable to pre-order and pay £100 deposit I rang Dottys!! The owner was there, making his Mince pies with mincemeat made in January, he was more than happy to take our booking and couldn't have been more helpful - even rang beforehand to say it would be 2 tables of 10, was that okay? Which of course it was!! On the 15 December we duly arrived about 8.45am and everyone picked their own breakfast and we were all served whilst we sat and chatted.

You must try Dottys - they have a huge menu and you certainly won't be...
Read moreMy daughter and I used to drop in here regularly about 15 and years ago. We revisited yesterday for breakfast. Very nice food and good service. Overall I thought that the price was reasonable and I write like the format of being able to choose your breakfast by number of items. The only problem with this is that it does highlight anomalies in pricing between items. For £1 I could have an extra slice of their very good thick bacon or another of their tasty sausages but paying £1 for half a slice of fried bread didn't feel right. At least give a full slice of fried bread for my money. Tasty meal that should have warranted 5 stars but I have taken one star off as the price of fried bread felt like a rip off. Only place I have been to where a while slice of fried bread is twice the price of a...
